"Thus we cover the universe with drawings we have lived. These drawings need not be exact. They need only to be tonalized on the mode of our interior space. But what a book would have to be written to decide all these problems! Space calls for action, and before action, the imagination is at work. It mows and ploughs. We should have to speak of the benefits of all these imaginary actions.....
I shall therefore put my trust in the power of attraction of all the domains of intimacy. There does not exist a real intimacy that is repellent. All the spaces of intimacy are designated by an attraction. Their being is well-being. In these conditions, topoanalysis bears the stamp of topophilia, and shelters and rooms will be studied in this valorization." (poetics of space; the house. from cellar to garret. the significance of the hut, 12)
